Attention Is Discovery: The Life and Legacy of Astronomer Henrietta Leavitt.

"Attention Is Discovery: The Life and Legacy of Astronomer Henrietta Leavitt" by Anna Von Mertens is a book that explores the life and work of Henrietta Leavitt and the group of women scientists known as the Harvard Computers. These women made significant contributions to the field of cosmology in the early 20th century by developing methods to calculate galactic distances and classify stars based on their chemical composition. The book combines scientific explanations with personal stories, and includes illustrations and archival documents to bring the subject matter to life. While the writing can be technical at times, it is a well-researched tribute to the process of observation and discovery in science. [Extracted from the article]
